DELL PowerEdge R650 rack server 2× Xeon Gold 6338 2.0GHz 32C 512GB DDR4 10×1.8TB SAS H755 2×1400W

Enterprise 1U Rack Server

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server designed for dense compute environments. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors, each delivering 32 cores at a 2.0 GHz base frequency with a 3.2 GHz turbo capability. The system includes 512 GB of DDR4 3200 MHz registered ECC memory across 16 DIMM slots. Dual 1400 W platinum-efficiency power supplies provide redundant hot-swap power.

Virtualisation and Database Workloads

This configuration suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, database instances or private cloud deployments that demand high core counts and large memory capacity in a single rack unit. The ten 1.8 TB 10K SAS drives and PERC H755 controller support RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection. Buyers who need GPU acceleration or NVMe-only storage pools should evaluate alternative platforms.

10-Bay 2.5-Inch SAS Chassis

The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays wired for SAS connectivity, populated here with 1.8 TB enterprise hard drives. The PERC H755 controller adds 8 GB of non-volatile cache with battery backup to sustain write performance during power events. Network connectivity comes from a Broadcom 5720 quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 adapter, while iDRAC9 Enterprise enables full remote lifecycle management.
